Audition


written by Frederick Knott
directed by Dhananjay Motwani, produced by Mugdha Kulkarni
(in Hindi, with supertitles in English)
Step into the shadows of a meticulously planned murder in this edge-of-the-seat thriller where a man masterminds a chilling plot to murder his unfaithful wife for her inheritance.
